5. Bobby confronts Clay — Bobby and Clay found a moment alone, which is when Bobby decided to confront Clay about what he knew, which was essentially everything. “I really hope you are as smart as you think you are,” Bobby said. “I am really tired of burning friends.” Clay’s eloquent response: “Me too.” It used to be that characters on this show could hold a secret for a few seasons; not they can’t keep a secret more than an episode. Anyway, Bobby didn’t do anything with the information, and Clay basically waved off the fact that Bobby knew that he put the Nomads into motion.
6. Welcome to the ICKY Portion of the Recap — Tara weaseled her way back into see Otto last night, and she did NOT use the perfume — as some in the comments wrongly and ABRASIVELY suggested — to kill Otto. No. You give Sutter way too much credit. She really planned to use the perfume to remind Otto of the things he loves in order to get him to drop his RICO testimony. It worked, too, after Tara held Otto’s head, AND HE JERKED OFF UNTIL HE BROKE DOWN INTO SOBS.
You have no idea how happy I was that I couldn’t find a GIF of this scene.
Folks, if anyone asks: This is the definitive moment that Sons of Anarchy jumped the rails.
7. Tara Needs Self-Love, Too — The moment with Otto had a profound effect on Tara, who later in the episode dabbed a little of that perfume on herself and went to town on her own fun spot. REMINDER: That perfume smells like patchouli and cum.
8. Oh, and that Oregon Job Is Back in Play — At the end of last season, there was some discussion that Tara might take a position in Oregon, but then Clay orchestrated a hit on her, which resulted in her hand getting busted. Last night, the job offer was put back on the table, just in time for the final two episodes of the season.

When will this update for the Nov. 20th episode? New Here
They must keep Tara around just to fuck with the audience now. They’ve written her completely insane.
Can we call this the newsroom of bikers?
Just caught up on DVR, so pardon my lateness.
And yes, I agree, the double standard is beyond stupid. Half the club has heard at least one of the conspirators say it was Clay and all the circumstantial evidence points to him.
me too, disapointment after disapointment.
juice has been a sucka pretty much since the beginning
Juice needs to die. Someone needs to at least, they are digging a bigger and bigger trench for themselves.
Yeah I called Juice’s number a while back.
Juice might get the axe, but there’s no way Jax is doing it.
I don’t see Jax killing Half-Black, eh Juice. If he’s super concerned about proof of Clay going against the club even though most of the club was told this by another member, why would he kill Juice based off of a hunch or word from an outsider?
I think Juice will give up Clay to save himself.
I just wish Tara would go anyway….she is not they greatest actress and i liked it better when Jax was a more loose cannon before she was in the picture….not to mention the whole perfume thing was retarded and totally off storyline.
I don’t think Jax has been a “looser” cannon anytime before watching his best friend get his head bashed in with a metal pipe and we really only had half of S1 before Jax and Tara were a bona fide couple. This just smells of “Jealous Fan Girl”.
Just got to see the show last night.
So um… the producer/writer of the show created a scene where he himself beats off with the prettiest girl on the set present. Then he writes a scene where she goes home, presumably thinks about him and tickles the pink.
Somebody’s full of wish fulfillment. I wonder if his wife making out with Jimmy Smitts was his idea or hers.
ok, i must have missed something…where was Lyla in that scene?
Otto and Luann must have had an odd sex life if “to have a womans hands on him” means hold my head while i Masterbate
Tried that last night. Not all it’s cracked up to be.
Just found the most BROTASTIC Jax GIF ever
[s39.beta.photobucket.com]
I’ve seen bro-ier
So…this is basically the roster of the current SAMCRO, correct?
Jax
Clay
Bobby
Chibs (fo’ life)
Tig
Juice
Happy
Fat Phil
8 dudes? That is a pretty weak motorcycle club. A few more deaths and qwe are llooking at having to bring in more folks from other clubs. Wonder if that is where Dave Navarro comes in? I know that Donal Logue is set to play a US Marshal. Anyone have any dream casting choices for future members?
They always show other dudes walking around the club, but they apparently are all on the straight and narrow.
They’re actually having a meet and greet and signathon next week at the local Y. I was thinking of checking it out.
Shark Jumped
[25.media.tumblr.com]
Jimmy Smits looks sleepy alot…
That’s racist!
he is Mexican, not japanese. that’s why he called his son El hijo instead of musuko
I was referring to this:
[www.youtube.com]
It was a good episode. Major characters do not have to die every week. I know blowing stuff up counts a lot. But death is unnecessary
Didn’t Chuck Zito (Frankie Diamond) beat up Jean-Claude Van Damme one time? That was cool.
yes at scores
Bleh.
I miss Lincoln Potter.
He was the best.
thirded
doesnt look good for juicie
Don’t forget, aside from what Gemma can extract from him, Juice is the only one who knows about Clay that isn’t dead.
That dude gets the shit end of the stick constantly. I feel would feel bad for him if it wasn’t for his stupid lightening bolt tattoos. He’s like a hardcore version of harry potter.
I have to agree with those that think Jax should nut up and just get Clay out of the picture, without the undeniable evidence. Even though it would write the show into a corner. it would be nice to not having deal with clays bullshit anymore
I thought the episode was fine.
Nothing exceptional nothing atrocious. Moved the storyline along.
1) there are 4 episodes left, not 2.
B) that jerk off business was not shark jumping territory. i don’t think a show like this is capable of truly jumping the shark. that was just more inconsistent characterization for Tara which has been a series long issue. you’re way too hard on this show, especially this season. so far it’s been about even with season 4 and if they can avoid a fuck up like last season’s finale it will be one of the better seasons overall.
+1
The whole perfume thing was a little nuts
Oh , and juice saves himself because he has the evidence that will destroy clay. Or just collaborate it
now that just is mean to attack Kurt Sutter like that…
Yeah I’m starting to get a little irritated with this show. Same shit different episode. Man the first 2-3 seasons were amazing!
I mostly stopped paying attention halfway through the episode and did something else. I think I’ll stick around just to see the rest of the season, but I doubt I’ll be back for next season.
Me too, and I missed the Tara fantasizes about Otto part, easily the best spot of the episode.
Could we please have someone else review the show ? You seem to be just trolling now.
This show sucks my balls.
Jaxing Off
So what’s the big deal with Juice being half-black?
Apparently the club is whitish only. If Juice were strictly Puerto Rican, he’d be fine, but I guess the best a black guy can ge is member of the Grim Bastards. Sutter claims the Hells Angels have this racist code, too.
The H.A and other clubs have to have that rule Sutter did not make it up
Yeah but its tots cool for chibs to have a black wife and daughter… or them being irish trumps black?
that can’t be right. I seem to remember a couple of black Angels in Hunter Thompson’s book Hells Angels. And surely MCs haven’t gotten MORE racist since the 60s.
@Duchess – they don’t ride, so no problem, I guess?
THE FIRST RULE OF SUTTER CUB IS THAT YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT SUTTER CLUB
you can’t be black, but Jax can pretend he is.
And with that; Sons of Anarchy has officially been removed from my DVR schedule. FX shows can never maintain their momentum. They start out great and then before you know it boom; Tara masturbates to the memory of Otto masturbating(?)
Holy shit…I totally forgot that she did that. HA!
Will go with “FX Dramas.”
I’m pretty sure that It’s Always Season is doing just fine in Season 8.
God, I hope Justified stays on track.
@JGoriginal
So can I assume you didnt actually read the post? Just jumped right into the comment thread, eh.
Justified will be ok, Givens would just shoot any writer that doesn’t meet his expectations.
Anyway, what show should we all move on to now?
That must be some great fucking perfume.
+1
Mainly for the “fucking” part.
What is going on with this show? At least I can always pretend it ended after Stahls death.
*Stahl’s
Stahl? You must mean the Joker in a DEA Agent costume.
Yes! That’s what I use to call her!
@ JGoriginal, i was wondering the same thing
No mention of Otto jerking it while Tara caressed him?
Holy shit dude. There is an entire article starting at the top of the page. This comment section goes along with that article. Let us know if you need additional help on how to work this site.
Yeah, not to pile on, but there are a total of 3 pages of information, try clicking some of those other pages to see if point has been raised yet.
Jesus Ice-skating Christ, just when I think this show has jumped the shark, it goes and gets way more shark-jumpier!!! When this show first started off, I thought it was going to be a gritty, somewhat realistic look at life in a motorcycle gang. What it has become is “Dallas” on bikes. F$%K this stupid show, its shitty writing, ridiculous plot devices, and meandering go-nowhere storylines…I’m done.
Now that I cancelled my cable I can’t tell if you are just bitching still or if it’s really getting that bad.
nah, not that bad. Characters are dropping off at a quicker pace.
He’s being a little ho thats for sure .He makes it seem as if he has written a better show but people chose to watch SOA
didnt you post on an article that basically tells what happened on the show. wait did by “cancelled my cable” did you mean lose my sight or have a serious head injury that caused the inability to read?
Nitpick: The MC is making very little money right now according to Jax (Nero had to pay off Frankie) yet he has a new bike and a new truck, which probably cost over $80k combined. Admittedly not the most important critique of Sutter.
They borrowed the truck from one of the Nomad guys who wasn’t part of the burglary team. After Pirelli shot Frankie, Jax asked that guy if they could borrow the truck to take Frankie back to Charming. I gather the nomad guy lives near Tahoe? He seemed familiar w/ the local players.
“Admittedly not the most important critique of Sutter.”
No, I think the only analysis really pressing at this time is why on hell would he write into a script a scene where his character, restrained on a table, whacks off with his one free hand, while smelling his dead wife’s “patchouli and cum” scented perfume dabbed on the wrist of his former club’s president’s wife.
I think they billed the Irish for machine gunning their bikes
The Irish bought them new bikes.
Did anyone think the scene of Jax taking off after Juice looked eerily constructed the same way as Tig following Donna in S1?
Yup. Still don’t get what the big deal is that Juice is half-black.
I don’t get it either. Jax does his back wanna be black impression with his bro walk. Plus they had a member named Half-Sac, they might as well just change juice’s name to Half-Black and move forward.
Haha half black. That’s great.
Can some one tell me when club protocol changed so that every fucking member now its at the table? It used to be like a board of directors did it not? Other members used to have to sit outside while Church was going on. I mean the fat curly headed dude was a fucking prospect last season.
“Filthy” Phil got patched in. Every full member gets to sit at church and vote. They’ve really only had Half-Sack, and then Rat-boy and Phil as prospects. Sometimes if the vote is about a member, they won’t be included, I guess.
A sign on the wall last night said, “if you don’t ride you don’t vote.” So now I am completely confused about their morals and who votes and how. They ALL FUCKING RIDE, or else the would be in a chess club and not a MOTORCYCLE CLUB!
The point of that sign/rule is if someone is crippled (Like Clay and his crappy hands keep threatening), he loses his vote.
They mentioned in an earlier episode that Clay only had a couple months to convalesce before he had to start riding again, or else he’d be out of the club. And they made a point of him not doing that well on the ride in this episode, too.
@dux
I think him saying his hands hurt last night was an excuse to get him in the van with Juice so they could split off from the rest of the club.
Thats generally how local chapters of clubs work. Unless you are member of a big city clubhouse, you would get to come to the table and vote if you are full patch member. All members are created equal, which is why the prospecting process is so long. Once you are in, you are just as equal as everyone else and your vote counts just as much as the President’s.
@ Lobster: If that is the case, will that be enough reason to kill him? No, he will still serve some purpose on this god awful shit mess of a show because of his ties to the Irish.
My prediction for the next few episodes: Clay lives and so does Gemma as they reconcile their love for one another. Nero gets broken-hearted (get it because he has issues with his heart) and gets stuck with some stupid fucking birds. Jax and Tara discuss getting out of the club and taking the boys to Oregon, but we just have to do this ONE LAST JOB. Tig gets revenge on Pope but gets severely wounded in the process. Fat Elvis rubs his belly and thinks of ways to make the club a better and safer place away from the drug trade. Juice and Chibbs kill each other because Juice couldn’t understand Chibbs when he said don’t shoot. Chibbs fires back at Juice as he lay dying on the ground, thus ending any hope Jax has of getting Juice to confess all the dastardly deeds of Clay Morrow.
See you next season!
So I guess it’s more entertaining for people to watch this show consistently be worse and then read/discuss it than throw Boardwalk Empire a bone and talk about a good show once in a while..
Yeah. That about sums it up.
I love Boardwalk Empire, and agree it would be fun to have a weekly discussion about that as well.
Although now that SOA has gotten so shitty, I do like putting it on blast every week.
It’s an old meme, but it’s still true. Haters gonna Hate. and as a hater, I love to hate on SOA
Thank you Buffalo. Boardwalk Empire is the best show on TV. Let’s harass Dustin until he gives us badges!
so Nucky liking that subpar burlesque ho made good tv? If it wasnt for gyp And the rise of capone boardwalk would be a snooze fest this season
ok lets be honest..Boardwalk Empire is a Sopranos rehash. engaging episode, a few “Slow boil” episodes that are more or less nothing happening with hints of something happening soon, pay off episode, back to “Slow Boil” they both just got a lot of love for being Gangster and HBO.
Boardwalk Empire has been painfully boring this season.
You have no sense for drama, sir.
I wouldn’t call it shark-jumping. The episode did bring back around a theme in play since S1, Tig’s necrophiilia, at least in mention.
If this show didn’t ‘jump the shark’ w/ last season’s CIA deus ex machina, it never will.
I agree…not much of a shark jumping episode.
More like the show moved into Seaworld next to the shark exhibit so they can start training the sharks to jump.
I’m rather enjoying that things are taking unexpected turns with characters and plots. I’m rather looking forward to seeing how things play out, although I expect this season is more of a set-up for next one. Pope, Clay, Tig, Nero, Gemma, Otto, etc.; it’s a lot for just two (or three?) weeks left.
There is a difference between “unexpected turns” and bad character/plot development.
we duh the have different letters and arraignments. just like a lawyer to catch technicalities
Cop out on the Chibs cliffhanger. OMG is he gonna make it? Phone rings, problem solved. Is he ok. Yup, just throw a hat on that shit and you’re good to go.
Jax wont kill Juice. He will use the knowledge to turn Juice against Clay.
Jax had been getting pretty blood thirsty. I hope he doesn’t, but he just might kill Juice.
oh man, Jax is gonna flare his nostrils SO HARD at Juice
Hit it on the nail. Juice probably going to end up killing Clay or vice versa for the season finale.
Well I guess it’s time to just kill everyone. And change the show to follow Tara and her new life in Oregon as the surgeon with a dark past.
That sounds good. They can cast Taye Diggs as a possible love interest. Perfect.
From here on out, as long as Tara is still alive she needs to wear a vile of the perfume around her neck at all times.
This way if she has a tough day putting up with her outlaw biker husband, or the crack whore mother-in-law, she can take a whiff and rub one out. I so badly want a Juicy Fruit reference on this show after the numerous times Clay refers to Juice as Juicy and now the sniff and tug scene!
Vile, adj. – extremely unpleasant, morally bad or wicked.
Vial, n. – small container, typically cylindrical and made of glass, used esp. for holding liquid medicines. (alternate spelling: “phial”).
@Dux
So a container hung around one’s neck that smelled like cum and patchouli would be a vile vial?
@Paul
Well done, sir.
@ Dux: It was a intended to be a VILE thought but yes, i did mean VIAL. Thanks for keeping me honest while on my tirade about this show.
@Palin Givens: well played, Sir or Madam
Something brought up on the Something Awful forum – When Otto was tearjerkin’, did he finish, and how does that get explained?
“Doctor Knowles, how is it that your patient was restrained, but his pants were covered in semen?”
“Uh..SMOKEBOMB!”
/Krieger-flee
He wasn’t actually crying. Otto has a genetic disorder that makes it so he is only able to ejaculate through his one good eye.
He wasn’t crying. Those sobs were his vinegar strokes.
thanks for the info, gotta go do barfs forever
SPOILER ALERT
This episode had more masturbation than any SOA so far.
This season, yes. All time? I don’t know, before he lost his hands, Chuckie was a masturbating machine.
Ah, is implied masturbation really the same?
well, he jerked it a few times in front of the club
Everybody enjoys a good masturcry.
Now, Turk, there’s no shame in crymaxing
Yeah, I think Chuckie is the all time high score. Tara has a ways to go to catch up.
@Flora: WRONG!! Tara has caused way more Masturcrys then Chuckie….for other people not me….I…never…cry….
I’m watching right now, and I am so bored by this show at this point that I don’t care at all about spoilers. Shocking, since I literally started watching it in August.
Yup, this recap mos def inspired me to not watch this episode. Thank you Warming Glow!
weren’t you watching in your original post…
Good thing I stopped watching. The recap is nice and that it reminds me the show is still going in a downward spiral…
such potential with a good cast — yet the writting is bollocks…
Its like talking to a patient wih ADD… NO FUCKING CLEAR FOCUS…. jeezz
The writing is suffering that’s for sure. But it’s a better story than I can come up with, so I guess I’ll keep watching.
